According to a rights group, female prisoners in Myanmar are facing severe torture and neglect by prison authorities. Detainees have reportedly been beaten with sticks, chains, metal pipes, and slingshots, while others have been subjected to electric shocks and cigarette burns.
The situation follows a protracted civil war that has gripped the impoverished Southeast Asian nation since the military seized power in a February 2021 coup.
